My Reservations Re. 'ChessCube' Were 'ILL-Founded'
At least it taught me, Not to believe, other peoples reviews, without my own 'fact-checking'!
Ie.- One Can access their recent games {either 'move-by-move' or on 'auto-move'}; And beyond that; That site also has a 'Leaderboard' for an assortment of the leading players stats; Re. Number of games played, list of the top-rated players; Plus ones' own personal statistics.. Even if they aren't a chesscube member!
Ps.- I've experienced only one 'live-game' glitch disconnection, thus far, {out of about 12 {5-minute} games played; And there's @ least a 50% chance, that it was 'adobe' installation related; Pertaining to my own 'pc.'
If this sounds like I can't find any deficiencies with that site, {now that I've given it a 'non-
member' checking things out..{including, their frequent tournies @ various time-controls; You guessed Right! --
 
Pps- I own No 'stock' in ChessCube; Nor did I {suddenly} get paid, to 'sing-their-praises'!

Re: My Reservations Re. 'ChessCube' Were 'ILL-Founded'
I guess it is just me. I have been losing g5 and g10 for about 15 or 20 games over the past 4 or 5 days with NO connection problems here at caissa. I wanted to see if I would have a problem and, other that watching TV instead of the match, I have not. Loss on time is also my problem.

If you are counting the "waiting for opponent to connect" as a disconnect well, I don't think that is valid. I have had more that a few of those at the other site also.

My one and ONLY complaint at caissa is the L-O-N-G ---- L-O-N-G wait time for any game to begin within my chosen rate range.
